Jack Eichel is excited that the Sabres have the top pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

Buffalo is expected to select potential cornerstone defender Rasmus Dahlin next month. Dahlin has the skill set to help the Sabres right away and his puck-moving ability should be beneficial to a player like Eichel. "I've seen him play and I've talked to a few guys about him," Eichel said. "Obviously, he's got some pretty incredible highlights. It seems like he's a special, special player."

Ryan O'Reilly admitted that he's pretty excited about potentially playing with Rasmus Dahlin in Buffalo.

The Sabres own the first pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and they're expected to take Dahlin first overall. "I was really excited, obviously," O'Reilly said. "I've actually watched him at World Juniors and different things and highlights of him. Obviously, it's not official yet, but I hope, I'm pretty sure, we'll be taking him. I'm excited. Watching him, he's so dynamic with what he's doing with the puck. He's just an elite player that any team he goes to he makes better, so I'm definitely very, very excited for that."

Reinhart just completed his entry-level contract. "I have not spoken to his agent yet about a contract," Buffalo GM Jason Botterill said. "We felt where we were in the standings, it wasn't a situation where we wanted to talk contracts during the year. Craig Oster certainly has quite a few players on our team, and I'll be reaching out to him in the next couple months." Reinhart tied for the team lead with 25 goals in 2017-18 and he posted 50 points in 82 contests.

Larsson recorded a goal and an assist on Monday night against Toronto. "It's probably just a little more opportunity at the end of the years with trades and injuries," he said. "That could be a factor, too, as well. But I don't think too much right now. I'm just playing and feel good about it." Larsson has posted 10 goals and 21 points in 32 games during the month of March. Larsson has accounted for 16 goals and 41 points in the other 210 games he has appeared in during his career. He also has three goals and seven points in 14 games during April.

Benoit Pouliot will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Ottawa Senators.

Pouliot has 13 goals and 19 points in 74 games this season. This will be the second time in four games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Kevin Porter, Josh Gorges and Matt Tennyson wil also watch the game from the press box.

Girgensons will miss what little is left of the season as a result. He took a puck to the face on March 23 and had been wearing a shield before having a procedure Wednesday. He had seven goals and 15 points in 71 games this season.

Jordan Nolan found the back of the net in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes.

He managed to put an end to his 41-game goal drought in the process. Nolan scored the game-tying goal at the 11:42 mark of the opening period, but Arizona managed to go ahead before the end of the frame thanks to a power-play goal from Derek Stepan.

The Buffalo Sabres are giving Scott Wilson a bigger role with Kyle Okposo sidelined.

Okposo sustained a concussion on Thursday and missed Saturday's contest as a result. With him unavailable, Wilson was moved to the top line and the top power-play unit. Those are obviously juicy roles, but Wilson hasn't capitalized on them yet. He had no points and a minus-one rating while logging 22:23 minutes of ice time in Buffalo's 2-1 shootout loss to Vegas on Saturday.

Jason Pominville scored his 14th goal of the season in Monday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.

Pominville has recorded two goals and two assists over a four-game point streak. He has been skating on the top line alongside Jack Eichel. Pominville scored 13 times for Minnesota in 78 appearances last season. However, he only has 32 points through 79 outings in 2017-18 when he had 47 points with the Wild.

Zach Bogosian was Buffalo's nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy.

The award goes annually to the player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community." Bogosian has done charitable work through "The Bogo Bunch Foundation" since 2015. The NHL will narrow down the list to three finalists on April 30.

McCabe underwent surgery on his thumb earlier this month and he hasn't played since Feb. 6. "Jake has been progressing well in his recovery from his previous injury, but we decided that this was a good opportunity to take care of a problem that he has been dealing with for a while," Sabres GM Jason Botterill said. "Jake will have time to fully recover before the beginning of the 2018-19 season."

Josh Gorges, who can become an unrestricted free agent this off-season, isn't ready to retire yet.

"I'll take some time, then when it's enough I'll reevaluate things and kind of see what's in store," Gorges said. "Obviously, there's one thing left undone, and that's winning it all. It'd be hard to say that I don't want to go back and have a chance at that. ... That fire to win that is still there, so we'll wait to see what the summer brings." The 33-year-old defenseman appeared in 34 games during the 2017-18 campaign.

It appears Victor Antipin will be heading back to the KHL after spending one season in the NHL as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.

The Sabres signed defenseman Lawrence Pilut earlier this week who was named as the defenseman of the year in the Swedish Hockey League. Antipin never really appeared to settle with the Sabres, playing just 47 games this season and picking up 10 points. He didn't confirm his status for next year at the end of the year, but it's believed that he could be leaning towards a return to the KHL.

Justin Falk will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers.

Falk has suited up in Buffalo's previous six games. he has one goal, one assist and a minus-16 rating in 46 games. Josh Gorges will take his spot in the lineup. Kevin Porter and Matt Tennyson will also watch the game from the press box.

"He'll be healthy for next year, which is a great thing," Sabres GM Jason Botterill said Wednesday. Lehner will become a restricted free agent this off-season and he will need a $4 million qualifying offer from Buffalo or else he can become an unrestricted free agent. It's unclear at this time if the team plans to bring him back.

Johnson is open to returning to the Sabres, but that would depend on the team's willingness to make changes. "I know I can be a good goalie in this league and I showed that when things were the way they should be," Johnson said Monday. "I have to see the change, whether it's through players or somehow convince me through contract, through whatever it is, to come back." He posted a 10-17-3 record with a 3.55 goals-against average and .891 save percentage in 36 games.
